Multi-millionaire businessman Sir Richard Branson is being sued for damages of more than £200,000 by a cancer victim who claims he developed as a result of exposure to asbestos while working at Sir Richard’s flagship Virgin Records store in Oxford Street.
Shop fitter Bernard Jones, 74, says he has developed the terminal disease malignant mesothelioma as a result of being exposed to asbestos when he worked at the store, and another Virgin store in London.
Now he is suing Sir Richard Branson personally, and Virgin Records Ltd for damages for his injuries, and claiming among other things that the disease will cut his life short by more than 12 years.

The Smashing Pumpkins have finished their forthcoming ‘Machina II’ reissue based on its original conception, frontman Billy Corgan has confirmed.
The band released their fifth album ‘Machina/The Machines Of God’ in February 2000 and followed it up that September with ‘Machina II/The Friends & Enemies Of Modern Music’ as a free internet download. The move was a compromise based on Virgin Record’s refusal to allow the band to release the two records together, owing to poor sales of previous album ‘Adore’.
Now, Corgan has revealed that ‘Machina II’ has been reworked to represent the band’s original idea. He told RADIO.COM’s New Arrivals: “[‘Machina II’] was written to be kind of like a musical, but because it was never finished, it was like shooting a movie that wasn’t fully edited.”
